Abstract
A wide range of precursors for selenium electrophiles is already known, but the requirements for the development of polymer-bound selenium reagents ar e different. Herein we report mixed acetals as new precursor molecules for the synthesis of selenium electophiles under very mild reaction conditions. The use of (MeOCH2Se)(2) allows a very fast access to these mixed acetals. Chiral precursor molecules can be synthesized as well and employed in effi cient stereoselective selenenylation reactions.
